Kitttkor, commonly known as tho '.'Culiforpjia Boy," attemptnd hi9 200 mile rac? in 12 hours yestordity, at Dexter Pur'", and met a Sedan defeat. About 1,000 persons wre present ir.t witnessed the n flair. Ri-taker in a vouna mua of medium ! size and hardy looking, dressed in , the ordinary jockey costume, and appeared to be pretty cotiiidetit of , success. Messrs. J. W. Cook, 3. D. vi, kj x . viigti tttiu XX. ill. Wells, were chosen juilges of tho race. E. S. Boyingtp,n v,aij prevailed upon to act as time-keeper. The race commenced at 6:30 o'clock. Only half the pumber of horses announced in the programme were on the ground. One of these was blind, and another was unmanageable. Ritaker commenced with spirit, and made his first mile "in 2:17. He rode without accident until the twenty-fifth round, when tho ugly beast before mentioned bolted and threw the rider against the fence, injuring himself severely. This caused a delay of sone twelve minutes, when the" business was resumed. . It was, however, evident that Ritnker was badly crippled bv the accident, and his trainers expended a vast quantity of bay rum in sponging him down. lie fainted once, but persevered in his herculean task, running un to the 172d round, when he became weak once more and swooned away. This mado betting lively against him, and his backers began to lnok blue. After being plunged in a bath he w;is mounted again continuing his superhuman exertions up to the 198th round, when he again bestrode the obstreperous equine t,hal had caused his former mishap. The beast only waited for Ritnker to mount when it bolted, heels in the air, and made straight fo,r another horse, which was standing by the rail. The collission threw the rider clean over the fence, lie fell flat on his back, and lay stretched out. as if dead, lie was carried to the stand and was rubbed with great industry until consciousness partially returned. A hack was procured and the unfortunate man was removed to the Transit House, where he received surgical treatment. It was then discovered that his body was brnistid and blackened almost from head to foot, anil the medical man had grave doubts as to whether the patient, CPH!4 come uirougli tbe danger. The race ended after Kitaker had completed 172 8-8 "miles, and had f been in thn saddle 0 hours and 24 minute?. Ilia fastest time was on the 130th round, which he accomplished in 1:53. It is, hard to say what might have been the result of the rash trial had the requisite num ber of hofges, supposed to be 80, been on hand. Apart from the accidents, the young man appeared to be physically exhausted from his unnatural exertions. Sporting men state that a large sum of money was bet upon the result of the race. The defeat may serve the purpose of deterring other fool hardy persons from vainly defying the laws of na ture. Chicago fost. A Strauge Story. The Washington Patriot prints the following: There figured during tho exciting war times jn Washington a man named Purdy, who will be remembered, probably, by many who read, this article. Iln was an officer in a regiment of New York volunteers, and took part in quite a number of battles. Ilia mother, it is stated, was a cousin of exSecretary Seward, and through him received his edit-cai;on. In the Summer of 1866 he was sent to Washington on on important mission by tbe commander of his brigade. While here he gambled off hisowa money, besides several thousand dollars entrusted to him by memberp o( bis regiment to be deliypred to, )eir friends. Becoming desperate, he forged ex Secretary Seward's name to a check for $4,000, and received the money on it'from a well-known and esteemed citizen of Washington. Thereupon he immediately left the city in disguise, and ufter many narrow escapes from arrest, reached Omaha, lie Bpept all the money he had in a few months, and went to Denver, polorado Territory. He next turn-etj up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and married the daughter of Manuel Zepato, one of the wealthiest ranchers id New Mexico. , One of M wife a brothers detected hira in a swindling operation, and in a difficulty between them he killed his brother-in-law. . t appears that alter living with, his wife a few months and wander? ing into Nevada he also murdered her after first securing all her Droo- erty in his own nanie, and then made good his escape pn the Western piuinsi. tie was nnaiiy arrested near Lake Sevier, Nevada, by U.

I Ho acknowledged that his object in j marrying her was to possess himself 01 ner p.roperiv, ana itiat his intention was to kill her when he learned that she had exposed his operations to her father ami brothers ot Ojjden. After givinga short account of "himself, he told the party to. finish him as soot) as possible, if they meant business. When asked it he had any message to send to his friends.he s'oiri that he woald "send a dispatch from 'hetl. and let them know." He was shot and buried on the spot, .J !.:- . ..1 .1..- ..5 . r Hiiv4 una IUI IIIII1UIUU U1U CUIOCf Uf Purdy. - a fltUoHoplticl Darkey. An elderly' darkey, with a very philosophical nnd retrospective cast of countenance, was squatting upon his bundle on the hurrican.0 deck of one of the wejtern river steamers, toasting his shins against the chimney, and apparently plunged in a slate of profound Meditation. His dress and appearance indicated familiarity with camp life, and it being soon after the siege and capture of Fort Donelson, I wqs inclined to disturb his reverie., an,d on interrogation found that he had been with the Union forces at that place, when I questioned him farther. His philosophy was so much in the Fulstaf-fian vein that I will give his views in, h,is own words as' near as my memory will serve ni'e, ' Were you in the fight? I had a little taste of it, sa. Stood your yroand, did you ? No, sa, I runs. Run at the first fire, did you ? Yes, sa, an' would hab run soona had I know'd it was comin'. Why, that wasn't very creditable to your courage.

What satisfaction would dat be to me. when der power of feelin' was gone? Then patriotism and honor are nothing to you? Nuffin, whatever, sa 1 regard them as among the varieties. If our soldiers were like you, traitors might have broken up the gov ernment, without resistance. Yes, sa, der would hab, been no help for it.

A dead white man ain't much to dese sogers, let alone a dead nigga, but I'd a missed myselt, and dat was de pint wid me. it is sale to say that the darkev corpse of that African will never uuruen tbe held ot carnage. Gabriel Coming. There is quite a settlement of col qred people afGoodin's coal banks, ana the farm lands adjacent thereto. Most of them are pious people, and ape jealous in their attendance at the meetings, which ore frequently held at the houses of the neighbors. There is ono among them who assumes the pqsjtiqp of nastqr, and often preaches longand fervid sermons. Sn the occasion of which we write, d uncle Wash, as we shall pal) him, was addressjpg a cabin full froin the text s'ojnewnere in Revelation, where the corning of Gabriel is graphically described. The cabin in which he was preaching was surrounded by trees, in which a large flock of turkeys were roosting. As uncle Wash waxed warn) in his dis course his audience kept pace with him, "My prederin," said he, !'no rnan knows de day nor de hour when Gabriel shall come and blow his trumpet. He will come fru de M. 2. ar like de mighty wind. Dj Lord only knows whether we shall lib to 3.ee that time, or die without seem' it. Before onoder month is gone before we're a week older dm nitlit while we's Vmbled here at dis, mee-. tin' we might hear dv sound of de sound of de trumpet ami de ffoppin' of Gabriel's wings oa,de tens of our houses. At this juncture a hahv Aivm-u l. the most zealous shouted a loud re sponse, which scared the turkevs, and several of them flew from their perch to the ground, passing over the house with a great noise. Wash hennl it, and in a tremendous voice exclaimed ; "P,e Lord save all us pour sinners, dar ho is, dis n,uu-lt."The consternation ftmong the assembly can better be imagined than described, They ran screaming from the house as if Old Nick hai: been after them. Tho noise scared the remaining turkeys, and they popped from their perch, which on ly increased the fear and the speed of the flying Africans. They had not gone fir before some of tliern discovered the true cause of the alarm, and returned to sea what had become of Lnclo Wash. Thev found him under -the bed, and when told that it was not Gabriel whose wlrs they had heard, but the turkeys, he replied: ''On way from me now, you nitrgahs, I'so so shamed dat you didn't want to go to lleb- ben, dat J, jtst sneaied under dis beef ta pray for ye." aJ S .

A Disgrace to Civilization. Tha Loudon porrcepoiulont of the Boston Post snvs 1 A very important meeting wa9 held In London recently, pursuant to a pub. lished call, to consider tho condition of tho laboring classes, and discuss other questions afl'ccling the nascent agriaulturnl unions. Tbo audience was of a composite character, and lu-cludcd several nen,jVit'1'a ot Parlia ment, as well as representatives of the puddle and lowep classes. Tlio most rcmatkahla feature of the session was a statement r,uilq by Canon Girdlestune. He said that in his own parish there were cottages unfit for the housing of cattle. There was scarcely a whole patio of glass in the windows; the mud floors had holes in them so deep that, to prevout philr die 11 fulling In, planks had been laid across them. Tha buildings were ill-ventilated and badly drained. The men's wages were from nine to ten shillings a week, with two quarts of sour older a day. Nothing could be uioro uncertain than tie,mode of payment ; fur one farmer gave good priv ileges, anothei bad, and another hardly any at al. The (jours pf labor were nominally from six to tig ; but, be had visited the laborers' pattages t sight &nd nine o'clock in the eveT ping, and found them ttill at work. Vlial they obtained tor this extra ex ertion might be mouthful of bread ar.d cheese, or only another quart of our cider. Uis remedy for this evil bad hitherto beeu migration ; but, af ter removing, through Ids own exer-, lions. s many as three or four hun-' died luiiiilios to tho Xorth, he was aony to confess that no permanent progress had been nchicv.cd. The removed families were vastly benefited by 1 tie change ;. In fact, they wevenow. living in couipnrative ollliienoe. iiuU llioso who mummed in Xorlh Devoid enjoyed 110 benefits ; their wages were, still ni low and tnelr cottages as bad as before. Jfu concluded, therefore, that nothing could be done tVrr Inbo-. rers, as a class, while they continued isolated. Other and similar. 8,1 ate-, monis were made, and the conference adjourned to meet ngnln soon, all tho. pnrticjpuiita lacing thoroughly con-, vineed of the necessity of some decisive and iuiniedlnte action for tbe relief ol the sutterer. ACCOVMOIIATIOS AT THE BAXK. A enpitnl exiitnple of what is often termed 'Inking the starch out,'' hnppi-tiri. ii a, country bank in New Kugliiiid . A pompons, well dress-, ed individual entered the bank, and, addressing the teller, who was some-, thing of a wag, Inquired 'Is thu cashier in !;' 'No, sir,' was the reply. 'Well, I am dealing in pens, sup-, plying the New England banks, pretty largely, and I suppose it will be proper lit; ij,e to deal wito tha cashier.' 'I suppose it will,' said the teller. 'Yery well, I will wait.' The pen dealer took a chair and sat composedly for a full hour, wait-, ing for the cashier. By that time, he began to grow uneasy, but sat Hviiiinjj in Liisj chair for about twen-. ty minutes, and, seeing no prospect of a change in his cieunstances, asked the teller how soon tbe cash-ici would be in. 'Weil, I don't kpc,w exactly.'sai the waggish teller, 'but I expect bim, in about eight wee ks. He has just gone to Lake Superior, and told m,a he would be back in that time.' Puddle? thought he would not wait. 'Oh, yon may slay if you wish,' said the teller. " 'We have no objection to your sitting here in the daytime, nnd you can probably find someplace in town where they will tie clad to keep you at night.1 The pompous peddler disappear-, ed without another word, ' Why ho Children- Die? In answer to this question, the MedicaJ Recorder holds the following lan: guage : "" The reason why children die, is, because they arc not takan pare of. From the day of birth they are stuffed with water, suffocated in, hot rooms nnd steamed in hot bedclothes. So much for in-door. I When permitted to breathe a breath of pure air once a week in summer, ii;m enca cr twice curing the colder months, only the nose is permi'ted, to peer into daylight. A little later they are sent out with no clothes at all on the parts of the body which most need protection. Bare legs, bare arnfs, bare necks, girted middles. A stout, strong man goes out on a cold dav with gloves and over coat, woolen stockings, and thick ooublc-soled boots, with cork between and rubbers oyer. The same day a child of three years, an infant of fl.-sh nnd blood, bone and constitution, goes out with shoes as thin as paper, eotto.n socks, legs uncovered to the knpes, neck bare, nrf exposure which oujd disable tbe nurse, kill the mother outright, and make the father nn invalid for days. And why? To harden them to a mode of dress which they are never expected to practice. To apcustom, them toexposure which a dozen years later would be considered downright tomfoolery. To rear children thus for the slaughter pen, and then lay it to the Lord, is top bad. We. don't think the Almighty had any baud in it. A Youxo Posn ivist. Parson 'What Is a miracle ?' Boy 'Dnnno.'

Kitttkor, commonly known as tho '.'Culiforpjia Boy," attemptnd hi9 200 mile rac? in 12 hours yestordity, at Dexter Pur'", and met a Sedan defeat. About 1,000 persons wre present ir.t witnessed the n flair. Ri-taker in a vouna mua of medium ! size and hardy looking, dressed in , the ordinary jockey costume, and appeared to be pretty cotiiidetit of , success. Messrs. J. W. Cook, 3. D. vi, kj x . viigti tttiu XX. ill. Wells, were chosen juilges of tho race. E. S. Boyingtp,n v,aij prevailed upon to act as time-keeper. The race commenced at 6:30 o'clock. Only half the pumber of horses announced in the programme were on the ground. One of these was blind, and another was unmanageable. Ritaker commenced with spirit, and made his first mile "in 2:17. He rode without accident until the twenty-fifth round, when tho ugly beast before mentioned bolted and threw the rider against the fence, injuring himself severely. This caused a delay of sone twelve minutes, when the" business was resumed. . It was, however, evident that Ritnker was badly crippled bv the accident, and his trainers expended a vast quantity of bay rum in sponging him down. lie fainted once, but persevered in his herculean task, running un to the 172d round, when he became weak once more and swooned away. This mado betting lively against him, and his backers began to lnok blue. After being plunged in a bath he w;is mounted again continuing his superhuman exertions up to the 198th round, when he again bestrode the obstreperous equine t,hal had caused his former mishap. The beast only waited for Ritnker to mount when it bolted, heels in the air, and made straight fo,r another horse, which was standing by the rail. The collission threw the rider clean over the fence, lie fell flat on his back, and lay stretched out. as if dead, lie was carried to the stand and was rubbed with great industry until consciousness partially returned. A hack was procured and the unfortunate man was removed to the Transit House, where he received surgical treatment. It was then discovered that his body was brnistid and blackened almost from head to foot, anil the medical man had grave doubts as to whether the patient, CPH!4 come uirougli tbe danger. The race ended after Kitaker had completed 172 8-8 "miles, and had f been in thn saddle 0 hours and 24 minute?. Ilia fastest time was on the 130th round, which he accomplished in 1:53. It is, hard to say what might have been the result of the rash trial had the requisite num ber of hofges, supposed to be 80, been on hand. Apart from the accidents, the young man appeared to be physically exhausted from his unnatural exertions. Sporting men state that a large sum of money was bet upon the result of the race. The defeat may serve the purpose of deterring other fool hardy persons from vainly defying the laws of na ture. Chicago fost. A Strauge Story. The Washington Patriot prints the following: There figured during tho exciting war times jn Washington a man named Purdy, who will be remembered, probably, by many who read, this article. Iln was an officer in a regiment of New York volunteers, and took part in quite a number of battles. Ilia mother, it is stated, was a cousin of exSecretary Seward, and through him received his edit-cai;on. In the Summer of 1866 he was sent to Washington on on important mission by tbe commander of his brigade. While here he gambled off hisowa money, besides several thousand dollars entrusted to him by memberp o( bis regiment to be deliypred to, )eir friends. Becoming desperate, he forged ex Secretary Seward's name to a check for $4,000, and received the money on it'from a well-known and esteemed citizen of Washington. Thereupon he immediately left the city in disguise, and ufter many narrow escapes from arrest, reached Omaha, lie Bpept all the money he had in a few months, and went to Denver, polorado Territory. He next turn-etj up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and married the daughter of Manuel Zepato, one of the wealthiest ranchers id New Mexico. , One of M wife a brothers detected hira in a swindling operation, and in a difficulty between them he killed his brother-in-law. . t appears that alter living with, his wife a few months and wander? ing into Nevada he also murdered her after first securing all her Droo- erty in his own nanie, and then made good his escape pn the Western piuinsi. tie was nnaiiy arrested near Lake Sevier, Nevada, by U.

I Ho acknowledged that his object in j marrying her was to possess himself 01 ner p.roperiv, ana itiat his intention was to kill her when he learned that she had exposed his operations to her father ami brothers ot Ojjden. After givinga short account of "himself, he told the party to. finish him as soot) as possible, if they meant business. When asked it he had any message to send to his friends.he s'oiri that he woald "send a dispatch from 'hetl. and let them know." He was shot and buried on the spot, .J !.:- . ..1 .1..- ..5 . r Hiiv4 una IUI IIIII1UIUU U1U CUIOCf Uf Purdy. - a fltUoHoplticl Darkey. An elderly' darkey, with a very philosophical nnd retrospective cast of countenance, was squatting upon his bundle on the hurrican.0 deck of one of the wejtern river steamers, toasting his shins against the chimney, and apparently plunged in a slate of profound Meditation. His dress and appearance indicated familiarity with camp life, and it being soon after the siege and capture of Fort Donelson, I wqs inclined to disturb his reverie., an,d on interrogation found that he had been with the Union forces at that place, when I questioned him farther. His philosophy was so much in the Fulstaf-fian vein that I will give his views in, h,is own words as' near as my memory will serve ni'e, ' Were you in the fight? I had a little taste of it, sa. Stood your yroand, did you ? No, sa, I runs. Run at the first fire, did you ? Yes, sa, an' would hab run soona had I know'd it was comin'. Why, that wasn't very creditable to your courage.

What satisfaction would dat be to me. when der power of feelin' was gone? Then patriotism and honor are nothing to you? Nuffin, whatever, sa 1 regard them as among the varieties.

Gabriel Coming. There is quite a settlement of col qred people afGoodin's coal banks, ana the farm lands adjacent thereto. Most of them are pious people, and ape jealous in their attendance at the meetings, which ore frequently held at the houses of the neighbors. There is ono among them who assumes the pqsjtiqp of nastqr, and often preaches longand fervid sermons. Sn the occasion of which we write, d uncle Wash, as we shall pal) him, was addressjpg a cabin full froin the text s'ojnewnere in Revelation, where the corning of Gabriel is graphically described. The cabin in which he was preaching was surrounded by trees, in which a large flock of turkeys were roosting. As uncle Wash waxed warn) in his dis course his audience kept pace with him, "My prederin," said he, !'no rnan knows de day nor de hour when Gabriel shall come and blow his trumpet. He will come fru de M. 2. ar like de mighty wind. Dj Lord only knows whether we shall lib to 3.ee that time, or die without seem' it. Before onoder month is gone before we're a week older dm nitlit while we's Vmbled here at dis, mee-. tin' we might hear dv sound of de sound of de trumpet ami de ffoppin' of Gabriel's wings oa,de tens of our houses. At this juncture a hahv Aivm-u l. the most zealous shouted a loud re sponse, which scared the turkevs, and several of them flew from their perch to the ground, passing over the house with a great noise. Wash hennl it, and in a tremendous voice exclaimed ; "P,e Lord save all us pour sinners, dar ho is, dis n,uu-lt."The consternation ftmong the assembly can better be imagined than described, They ran screaming from the house as if Old Nick hai: been after them. Tho noise scared the remaining turkeys, and they popped from their perch, which on ly increased the fear and the speed of the flying Africans. They had not gone fir before some of tliern discovered the true cause of the alarm, and returned to sea what had become of Lnclo Wash. Thev found him under -the bed, and when told that it was not Gabriel whose wlrs they had heard, but the turkeys, he replied: ''On way from me now, you nitrgahs, I'so so shamed dat you didn't want to go to lleb- ben, dat J, jtst sneaied under dis beef ta pray for ye." aJ S .

A Disgrace to Civilization. Tha Loudon porrcepoiulont of the Boston Post snvs 1 A very important meeting wa9 held In London recently, pursuant to a pub. lished call, to consider tho condition of tho laboring classes, and discuss other questions afl'ccling the nascent agriaulturnl unions. Tbo audience was of a composite character, and lu-cludcd several nen,jVit'1'a ot Parlia ment, as well as representatives of the puddle and lowep classes. Tlio most rcmatkahla feature of the session was a statement r,uilq by Canon Girdlestune. He said that in his own parish there were cottages unfit for the housing of cattle. There was scarcely a whole patio of glass in the windows; the mud floors had holes in them so deep that, to prevout philr die 11 fulling In, planks had been laid across them. Tha buildings were ill-ventilated and badly drained. The men's wages were from nine to ten shillings a week, with two quarts of sour older a day. Nothing could be uioro uncertain than tie,mode of payment ; fur one farmer gave good priv ileges, anothei bad, and another hardly any at al. The (jours pf labor were nominally from six to tig ; but, be had visited the laborers' pattages t sight &nd nine o'clock in the eveT ping, and found them ttill at work. Vlial they obtained tor this extra ex ertion might be mouthful of bread ar.d cheese, or only another quart of our cider. Uis remedy for this evil bad hitherto beeu migration ; but, af ter removing, through Ids own exer-, lions. s many as three or four hun-' died luiiiilios to tho Xorth, he was aony to confess that no permanent progress had been nchicv.cd. The removed families were vastly benefited by 1 tie change ;. In fact, they wevenow. living in couipnrative ollliienoe. iiuU llioso who mummed in Xorlh Devoid enjoyed 110 benefits ; their wages were, still ni low and tnelr cottages as bad as before. Jfu concluded, therefore, that nothing could be done tVrr Inbo-. rers, as a class, while they continued isolated. Other and similar. 8,1 ate-, monis were made, and the conference adjourned to meet ngnln soon, all tho. pnrticjpuiita lacing thoroughly con-, vineed of the necessity of some decisive and iuiniedlnte action for tbe relief ol the sutterer. ACCOVMOIIATIOS AT THE BAXK. A enpitnl exiitnple of what is often termed 'Inking the starch out,'' hnppi-tiri. ii a, country bank in New Kugliiiid . A pompons, well dress-, ed individual entered the bank, and, addressing the teller, who was some-, thing of a wag, Inquired 'Is thu cashier in !;' 'No, sir,' was the reply. 'Well, I am dealing in pens, sup-, plying the New England banks, pretty largely, and I suppose it will be proper lit; ij,e to deal wito tha cashier.' 'I suppose it will,' said the teller. 'Yery well, I will wait.' The pen dealer took a chair and sat composedly for a full hour, wait-, ing for the cashier. By that time, he began to grow uneasy, but sat Hviiiinjj in Liisj chair for about twen-. ty minutes, and, seeing no prospect of a change in his cieunstances, asked the teller how soon tbe cash-ici would be in. 'Weil, I don't kpc,w exactly.'sai the waggish teller, 'but I expect bim, in about eight wee ks. He has just gone to Lake Superior, and told m,a he would be back in that time.' Puddle? thought he would not wait. 'Oh, yon may slay if you wish,' said the teller. " 'We have no objection to your sitting here in the daytime, nnd you can probably find someplace in town where they will tie clad to keep you at night.1 The pompous peddler disappear-, ed without another word, ' Why ho Children- Die? In answer to this question, the MedicaJ Recorder holds the following lan: guage : "" The reason why children die, is, because they arc not takan pare of. From the day of birth they are stuffed with water, suffocated in, hot rooms nnd steamed in hot bedclothes. So much for in-door. I When permitted to breathe a breath of pure air once a week in summer, ii;m enca cr twice curing the colder months, only the nose is permi'ted, to peer into daylight.
